There are a lot of these newsletters at the moment. I’m not sure how to differentiate them.

Does anyone have a list of the ones particularly worth following?

So, you wanted a curated list of newsletters which provide curated lists?

Yes. But how do I know you're any good at making that list?

You crowd source it, and eventually you end up here[1].

True. We need a curated list of curated lists of curated newsletters.

The only one I look forward to every week is TechLoaf: https://www.techloaf.io/

Probably not exactly what you were looking for though. :)

Hey, that's my newsletter!

Glad you're a fan, and always excited to see my extremely lo-tech baby get love on HN.

I'll send you some swag - reply to any of the emails.

Proud you're standing with The Loaf in this crowded Weekly Newsletter as a Service (WNaaS) space.

There are not that many general programming newsletters, but language specific there are a ton. A list I like to use is the Awesome Newsletter https://github.com/zudochkin/awesome-newsletters

It's not exactly coding related, but I really like the Orbital Index. The stories they choose are usually interesting and their blurbs are succinct enough to read during a few minutes break.

If you are in the .Net field, this guy's blog is a nice daily list of links to read. A lot come from HN.

Similar to Chris Alcock's The Morning Brew, which has been around since 2007. http://blog.cwa.me.uk/

The ones that give you other ways to subscribe besides email, is how I differentiate. I am not interested in getting articles in my email, it's for correspondence only.

Most newsletters, especially ones using MailChimp, should have an RSS link unless they explicitly disabled it. Here is the RSS link for Morning Cup of Coding: https://us18.campaign-archive.com/feed?u=ab0f46cf302c0ed836e...

I don't promote it much because it has some disadvantages from my end, but I see the value in RSS. Hell, I rely on them to make each issue.

What other ways do you get newsletters? Twitter? SMS? ???

My preferred format for getting newsletters, blog posts, and other news is RSS. I use Feedly along with Reeder on macOS.

RSS or just directly on the webpage, either are preferable.

I use my inbox as a todo list, and something like Feedly for my article consumption. It's hard to mix the two successfully.
